I've been getting those since I was a small kid. I used to get them a couple of times a year, usually about 3 to 4 at a time. I now havent had an outbreak in 3 years. The secret is when you feel one is about to start. You need to do the following: Do not eat anything with chocolate, nuts, or refined sugars. Fruits with their own natural sugars are safe, and take a Lysine pill each morning. This may not stop them completely but you will find they will heal faster and be significantly less painful. I have also found that was causes them to break out is 1. large amounts of stress. (Hakuna Matata) 2. Getting them sunburnt or chapped also doesnt help. Hope this helps, Till next we meet Rob
